Shovel Knight developer Yacht Club Games has announced that Mina the Hollower, its upcoming retro-style top-down action-adventure game, has been delayed indefinitely.
Announcing the delay in a blog post, Yacht Club says that despite "working tirelessly day and night to finish" Mina the Hollower for its intended October 31st release date, the development team is "just not quite there yet".
According to the studio, the delay in question won't be "major"; it'll simply be an opportunity to "apply some final polish and balancing" to ensure that Mina the Hollower is ready for primetime when it releases. However, no new release date was revealed, so we don't know when the game will actually be arriving.
Yacht Club says it doesn't want to announce a new release date until Mina the Hollower has been submitted for approval across all of the platforms on which it's intended to appear, beseeching fans to "hang tight as we reach the finish line".
As for what's actually being done during the final hours of development, Yacht Club says the team is currently working on issues like finalizing design and art, game balance, and implementing localization, as well as "eating cheese". Well, that's...
